I have seen a few blogs regarding this topic, and a few comments in my blogs over this topic so I decided I would share my view on the matter.

Was Anakin the choosen one? Or was it Luke?
I think Anakin was the choosen one; there is no doubt that he wasn't. It even says so in one of the documentaries on the ROTS DVD.

My Theory
In my opinion Luke couldn't have been the choosen one, he didn't defeat any sith in the Saga. Notice I said the saga, which does not include anything in the EU. Anakin defeated three...Dooku, Sidious, and Vader. Yes he defeated Vader.

Well how did he defeat Vader?
In the end of ROTJ Anakin redeems himself by killing the emperor and tell Luke that he was right, there was still good in him. Anakin realized in ROTS how much power the sith really had, well in ROTJ he trades in all of the power to save the life of his son. A son he barely knew. Sure Vader knew who his son was and he knew his name, who his mother was, who is sister was, but Vader knew nothing about Luke. Besides the fact he wanted to be a Jedi.

When Vader killed the emperor he also killed himself. Right there he defeated the last two remaining sith of the saga.

Clearing up the Prophecy
The choosen one was said to defeat the sith and bring balance to the force...and that he did. Killed the remaining to sith...and after that he was able to find a place for himself with the Jedi once again (Referring to the celebration scene of ROTS)

Well that's it for this blog...not too good of one, but I really wanted to clear up the confusion of the Choosen one, and that it was Anakin.
